If your baby's head is engaged, have you been experiencing any sharp pelvic pains?

Have you had any sharp pelvic/cervical pains that come and go if your baby's head is engaged? I am 34 weeks and have had stubbing pains that seem to come and go every 5 minutes or so... Not sure if these have anything to do with my baby's head being engaged... Should I be worried?

Hi, I'm 37 weeks and have been having this. It's only my first pg but as I understand it this is a sign that the baby is engaging. However, this can still be the case for weeks so I don't think you need to worry that labour is imminent!!

Thank you, Chessy! I don't know how I'll manage another 6 weeks of pain.... Hope things go well for you!

Yeah, I get these too. Think they're normal at this stage in pregnancy!
